I am sorry but that statement is simply false... For some countries and/or religions, the the celebrations of Midsummer do not actually fall on the 21st... but, all that mark it, do so somewhere between June 21st and June 25th.
However, the original and true date of Midsummer is the Summer Solstice, which is June 21st and the evening preceding it. (Because technically the exact time can fall late on the 20th some years due to that whole quarter day thing that also means we need a 29th day in February every four years).
